Chapter 215: 212: Famous in the World

Chu Zhou did not stay in Yanshui City for long. After a brief pause, he steered the walnut boat again, crossed a thousand miles, and returned to Xuanzhen Temple.

His return did not cause much waves, just like a drop of water merging into the sea, so naturally.

But the shock it brings is definitely not small!

In fact, the things that Fan Zhong talked about were not very important, including the beggar army. Even if Ran Yongzeng was as brave as a bear and a leopard, he would not have the courage to come to Tianquan County to cause trouble.

However, this does not mean that Chu Zhou’s return is not important.

In fact, he was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea. When it fell, it calmed down all the disturbances in Tianquan County.

Whether openly or secretly, everything returned to calm, and no one dared to say a word.

The most intuitive manifestation is that Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie have returned one after another.

When an order was issued from Xuanzhen Temple and no one dared to object, there was no need for them to make a fuss outside.

As for Yi Huai, Chu Zhou gave an order after a brief thought, asking the dispatched Tianquan Army to return.

It’s not that he doesn’t abide by the agreement, but the previous agreement is no longer suitable for the current situation. It would be better to withdraw the troops and rest.

Of course, this kind of situation where an entire county was suppressed and no one dared to disobey was not possible without Chu Zhou’s record of killing five martial arts masters in one battle!
In this world, apart from the top martial arts sects, there are very few sects that can produce five martial arts masters at a time. He killed five in one battle, which really scared a lot of people.

Nowadays, the reputation of Xuanzhen Temple’s secret martial arts is spreading further and further.

However, those who really have evil intentions and want to come to Tianquan County to take advantage of others are almost non-existent.

This is the reason!

Chu Zhou’s move was extremely effective.

Of course, the Bingxi Sect, Tiancang Sect and Cao Gang were very dissatisfied with Xuanzhen Temple’s “retreat”.

They each sent people to persuade Xuanzhen Temple to send troops to lead the three parties to completely encircle and wipe out the beggar army under the command of the Weeping Heavenly King.

Chu Zhou was of course not happy about this, because he could see clearly that the three parties were afraid of the Beggars’ Army and were also afraid of being taken advantage of by others. Even if Xuanzhen Temple contributed manpower and effort, there was no guarantee that they would benefit from it.

In that case, it’s better to get out of this as soon as possible!
When Yi Huai returned, Tianquan County had completely calmed down. Chu Zhou believed that for a period of time, no one from outside would dare to cause trouble for Xuanzhen Temple again.

Therefore, precious time should naturally be used to strengthen oneself.

Chu Zhou first spent the huge sum of money of one million taels. Of course, he could not give it away openly, but injected it into the development of Tianquan County in various ways.

For example, new granaries were built in various places in Tianquan County, and grain and fodder were purchased from outside to stockpile reserves.

Chu Zhou finally understood that the world was already showing signs of chaos.

Therefore, the storage of food and fodder is of utmost priority. Xuanzhen Temple’s several reserves have solved urgent problems and gained many benefits.

Of course, the things that granaries fear the most are rats and termites, so Chu Zhou asked local government offices and sects to cooperate, supervise each other, and restrain each other.

In addition, Xuanzhen Temple will send out disciples to patrol regularly. If they really find someone so daring, they will have to kill him all the way.

The next step is to develop water conservancy projects and official roads.

Water conservancy is easy to talk about. The embankments and silt deposits on both sides of the Baisha River should be cleared, reinforced, and floods should be released…

We must always ensure that even if a flood occurs, it will not affect Tianquan County.

As for the official roads, those that were repaired were repaired, and those that were newly opened were newly opened, in an effort to ensure that all cities and counties in Tianquan County were unobstructed. By setting up post stations, the communication efficiency and business environment in various places would be improved.

In addition, there are also mining, iron forging, herb planting, land reclamation, and the development and upgrading of various industries…

All of these were drafted by Hao Songqing, approved by Chu Zhou, controlled by the prefect Ji Mingqian, and executed by various government departments and local sects.

There is only one purpose, which is to ensure that everyone has work to do, can earn money, learn to consume, stimulate economic development, and then bring the entire Tianquan County into a virtuous cycle and make it better and better.

Of course, if you want the sects from all over the place to contribute, you have to give them benefits, so Xuanzhen Temple also opened up part of its task system to them.

The specific part is naturally not comprehensive enough, but the points they earn can also be exchanged for good things from Xuanzhen Temple.

For example, mature body-tempering martial arts, from the lower body-tempering realm to the grandmaster level, all kinds of them are included.

Another example is the various medicinal materials used for body tempering, refining, recovery, and cultivation. As the guardian sect of Tianquan County, only Xuanzhen Temple can obtain the most complete range of herbs and blood of spiritual beasts.

Further down, there are all kinds of magical weapons, strange secret techniques, and even if you have enough contribution points, it is not impossible to let Chu Zhou take action and personally optimize the martial arts.

With these benefits hanging around, Chu Zhou can naturally drive the various sects in Tianquan County to work willingly and make them grateful for the benefits.

Furthermore, such large-scale infrastructure naturally requires manpower.

Even though Tianquan County had a large population before, it was still not enough.

Especially for some jobs with a higher risk factor, few people would be willing to do them unless they are forced to a certain extent, such as mining and land reclamation.

But don’t forget that the war had just ended and Tianquan County received hundreds of thousands of disaster victims.

Although there are no detailed statistics, there are probably 200,000 or 300,000 of them. These people are all laborers. If you give them food to eat, a place to live, and some wages, they can burst out with great enthusiasm for work.

It must be admitted that one of the reasons why Chu Zhou started this plan called “Tianquan County Construction” was that these disaster victims had to be resettled.

They have hands and feet, it is impossible to provide them with food every day, so work-for-relief is the best way.

After the one million taels of silver were spent, it was like filling a lubricant, and the entire Tianquan County embarked on a vigorous construction campaign, which also showed a thriving situation to the outside world.

Chu Zhou had to admit that nowadays he no longer regarded Tianquan County as the Tianquan County of Ba Zong, nor the Tianquan County of Dayun Dynasty, but the Tianquan County of his Xuanzhen Temple.

This will be the place where Xuanzhen Temple will take off, so naturally it has to be something impressive!

It is worth mentioning that the stability of Tianquan County has attracted many sects to join it.

With the recommendation of Wanxiangzhai, Xiaoyao Sect’s leader Hao Yilin made a special trip to Tianquan County to meet Chu Zhou.

His purpose was only one, to get a piece of land so that he could settle down in Tianquan County.

The fact that Xiaoyao Sect has thieves is not a small matter. Without anyone to protect them, when Ba Zong settles accounts with them, it is estimated that none of the hundreds of people in Xiaoyao Sect will survive.

After careful consideration, Chu Zhou agreed, not only because Hao Yilin was a martial arts master, but also because Xiaoyao Sect offered so much!
On the day of the mountain visit, Hao Yilin was extremely humble, and he led his disciples all the way from Baisha City. Behind them were hundreds of horse-drawn carriages carrying various gifts, stretching for several kilometers on the official road.

Just for this windfall, Chu Zhou didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

The Xiaoyao Sect was just the beginning. Later, Tianqing Valley, Sihai Gang, Fengling Sect and Danhuo Valley came one after another to join.

Some of them were the garrisoned sects that were crippled by the Beggars’ Army, some were the ruined families of Tianyuan Prefecture, and some were the sects that failed in the struggle in Overlord City…

Although they are different, they are all good in terms of foundation, and there is at least one half-step grandmaster in each sect.

When they settled in Tianquan County, they brought not only money and supplies, but also directly increased the strength of the county.

Other sects that guard a county are afraid that there will be a sect that can rival them in their jurisdiction and challenge their position, but Chu Zhou seems to be fearless at all.

Xuanzhen Temple will only grow stronger and stronger as time goes by, at a speed far beyond the imagination of those martial arts sects. This is Chu Zhou’s confidence!
In fact, although Tianquan County was in a state of hustle and bustle and everyone was busy, Chu Zhou only contributed some ideas and made some decisions, but he did not participate in any specific matters.

The internal construction of the sect is what he focuses on!
After such a long time, the task system has been initially constructed and its advantages have been demonstrated, but many problems have also been encountered.

During this period of time, if you have the energy, you should naturally check what needs to be done, correct what needs to be corrected, set rules where necessary, and eliminate those who need to be eliminated.

The Discipline Hall under Fan Tiehu, the Mission Hall under Wei Fangjie, and the warehouse and library under Yi Huai were also screened and rebuilt.

In the previous war, many things were only done halfway or not thoroughly implemented. Now we need to perfect what needs to be perfected and cut out what needs to be cut out.

Chu Zhou has absolute prestige and control, and he is decisive and sticks to his word. Although it is difficult to implement various rules, no one dares to say anything.

He knew clearly that no matter how good a system is, it must maintain its vitality and fluidity, otherwise it will become stagnant.

Of course, the optimization and implementation of the system is very complicated and cannot be rushed. Chu Zhou did not try to take on too much, but instead pushed forward step by step.

It can be considered effective only if all disciples understand and accept it.

And after this part is completed, Chu Zhou also plans to build the Weapon Hall, Talisman Hall and Array Hall, which are as famous as the Alchemy Hall.

Alchemy weapons and talismans are the foundation of all the arts of immortality. Apart from the art of protecting the way, it is the most indispensable part.

Without them, the power of the immortal way cannot be fully demonstrated, so it is definitely not wrong to start training from disciples.

Xuanzhen Temple was still too weak. There were not many inner disciples who had reached the Tongmai realm and started to cultivate magical powers. There were only about ten or so.

It’s great to let them get started, explore, and gain experience.

Of course, these are all later stories. What Chu Zhou is most concerned about now is the cultivation of his disciples.

Tianquan County is rarely peaceful. After a great battle, the inner disciples, although still young, have gone through the test of life and death and have gone through many hardships.

Compared to before, my character has improved greatly. If I get more time to practice peacefully, I will make rapid progress.

Not to mention the inner disciples, even Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie have matured a lot, and it is a good time for them to practice.

However, Chu Zhou had higher requirements for them. After practicing for such a long time, it was a bit unreasonable for them to always linger in the Qi Induction Stage.

Therefore, they have to build a foundation!!!
If the four of them can build a foundation, then Xuanzhen Temple will be truly confident.

Of course, after seeing the martial arts grandmasters in action, Chu Zhou also discovered that if he wanted to be fearless in front of these big sects, and even make the Tyrant Sect fear him, he must at least have the combat power of a grandmaster.

Even though he performed bravely when sealing Hanba, and seemed to be more powerful than all the people in Ba Zong, it was just that everyone has their own expertise!
If a fight really breaks out, even with all his current tricks, he is no match for the contemporary overlord Xiong Kuohai.

Well, comparing him to Xiong Kuohai is a bit too much. In fact, he can’t beat either the Red Lotus Sect Leader or the Xuan Yue Demon Lord.

On the one hand, their martial arts true meaning that has been condensed into substance is already able to resist spiritual consciousness; on the other hand, their true energy is strong and powerful enough that even if their methods are a bit crude, they can still stimulate a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

This may be another example of great effort leading to miracles.

Anyway, Chu Zhou knows his own limitations. His immortal cultivation in the late stage of foundation building is still not enough. The best is the golden elixir!

If he could form a golden elixir, he would be truly fearless, and perhaps it would be possible for him to visit that secret realm.

These thoughts swirled in Chu Zhou’s mind, but did not affect his practice. In fact, he was more diligent and hardworking than Xu Cheng and the other three.

As human beings, only after seeing a higher sky will we have more motivation to move forward.

After spending half a month, Chu Zhou condensed another drop of “one yuan heavy water”. After replenishing his trump card, he began to practice “The Inverted Sky River Method” seriously to accumulate magic power.

As a method of true immortality, the so-called foundation building and golden elixir actually belong to a very low realm. There is no obvious difficulty or threshold. All it takes is time to accumulate.

During this process, Chu Zhou often went to the Jieying Hall and used the “Dharma Performance Platform of the Heavens” to experiment with his various ideas from time to time.

For example, the optimized and improved evil-breaking technique, after adding twelve spiritual patterns, its power has been greatly increased and it has been named the Great Evil-breaking Technique.

Another example is the deeper combination of the Blue Sea and Blue Dragon phases with magic, thunder, acid rain, evil-breaking, hail and the like seem to have good effects, but he always feels that something is missing.

There is also the “Sun-piercing Sword Art”. In the foreseeable future, this will be one of Chu Zhou’s most important means of killing. Of course, he must practice, learn, and use it well.

It is worth mentioning that he viewed the redemption courses many times and found many courses that attracted his attention.

For example, “Thirteen Points to Note When Condensing the Golden Elixir” talks about the items that need to be paid attention to when condensing the golden elixir, and how to condense the best and highest quality golden elixir.

Another example is “Xiandao Shafa”, which can gather different enemies and simulate all of your own abilities. Both sides fight, accumulate experience in battle, and discover shortcomings.

It’s a pity that Chu Zhou was short of money and couldn’t bear to buy any of them.

And time keeps passing by in this kind of practice and occasionally dealing with trivial matters.

The entire Tianquan County is safe and secure, with no one causing trouble, but this does not mean that it is safe outside Tianquan County.

In fact, the word “stormy and turbulent” is not enough to describe the chaos in the outside world.

The result of the battle in Tianyuan Mansion was finally announced. The contemporary Overlord Xiong Kuohai fought alone against the leader of the Red Lotus Sect and the Xuanyue Demon Lord, which fully demonstrated the strength of the Overlord Sect.

But the subsequent birth and sealing of Hanba cast a shadow on this victory.

Do you think this is the end?
Do not!
Not even close!

Although Ba Zong won, the victory was not complete and he also suffered heavy losses.

Although the Pure World Red Lotus Society and the Xuan Yue Sect seemed to have been defeated, their foundation was not damaged. At least the two grand masters were not dead, and most of the martial arts masters at this level were still alive.

They have no habit of admitting defeat. It is said that they have already contacted the masters of the Luxian Palace and want to unite and stir up greater chaos.

And Ba Zong seems to be communicating with Gu Sha Zong, San Qing Men, and even Wu Temple, as if to borrow troops.

A war that was thought to be over, but unexpectedly, it was getting more and more intense.

These originally had little to do with Xuanzhen Temple.

Guarding his small piece of land, as long as no one bothers Chu Zhou, he doesn’t want to care about the ups and downs outside.

But I never thought that Xuanzhen Temple would become famous all over the world in a strange way.

And this has to do with Ba Zong!
If we talk about the grievances and hatreds between the four major sects in the world, Ba Zong, Gusha Zong, Sanqing Sect, and Wu Temple, and the three major evil cults, Jingshi Honglian Society, Xuanyue Demon Sect and Luxian Palace, it would take three days and three nights to finish.

During the long period of thousands of years, they killed each other, and their hatred grew deeper, but they had already come to know each other well enough.

But this time, the fighting power displayed by the contemporary overlord Xiong Kuohai was beyond their imagination.

Since there were doubts, we naturally had to figure them out. Then, after some investigation, we locked onto the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple.

This is actually very easy to check. The Tyrant Clan did not hide it, and it is clearly written on the Tyrant Order issued!
But it was not until this moment, this moment, that all sects, no matter whether they were righteous or evil, even including the Dayun Dynasty, truly began to face up to the value of Xuanzhen Temple’s secret martial arts.

It was also at this moment that Xuanzhen Temple truly became famous all over the world!
